New Brakes

White Knight · Jul 26, 2007

Just got my new rotors and pads. I looked at them all. I bought my stuff through Napa. Slotted and Drilled w/ Ceramic pads . All have a lifetime guarantee. No one had a life time . only 1 yr.? And that didn't cover warping.? Anybody tried them out?? Cant wait to put then on. :B:

what was the price from NAPA, if you don't mind?

White Knight · Aug 17, 2007

It was 450.00 for everything. That's with the life time on everything also. pretty hard to beat. They came out super. makes a huge difference in the look w/ those SS 20's.

click additional options
click browse (this will open up your pictures)
double click on picture you want to post
click post (do not try and preview or you will lose the picture)

if you get a message saying file to large, you will need to resize the picture

if you are using windows XP you can down load their free image resizer here

once you have that you can just right click on a picture
then click resize picture
click on advanced
check custom
hit tab and enter 600
hit tab and enter 450
then click ok
it will put a picture next to your original with the same file name followed by "custom" you should have no problems posting those following the first set of instructions

Good Morning all,
WK, now that the new parts are installed, have you noticed much difference in pedal effort? Is there a big difference between the aftermarket and the stock GM brakes?

I'm in the process of buying parts for the brakes of my 2500 with 145,000 miles. It is getting to the point where the brakes need attention.
